2006 Toyota Avalon. Consumer writes to express views regarding Toyota incidents the consumer stated he was sold a defective demo vehicle. The entire brake system had to be replaced as well as the tires due to premature wear. The windshield wipers did not clear the windshield properly and the brake light illuminated right after the consumer left the dealership. The consumer returned to the dealership only to be told there was no brake fluid in the reservoir.
I started to notice a clunk when I turned the wheel to the left which I though T was unusual. It concerned me that it sounded like a worn linkage or ball joint and the car had only 21,000 mile on it. Who informed me that there had been a bad lot of a steering linkage part put on certain Avalons that they couldn't identify. Therefore, no recall which disturbed me. I though Toyota was known for outstanding quality! the car now has 26,300 miles and there have been no further issues.
